  2. 11. Stripped-envelope supernovae discovered by the Palomar Transient Factory

    Author : Christoffer Fremling; Jesper Sollerman; Federica Bianco; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; supernovae; transients; Astronomy; astronomi;

    Abstract : This thesis is based on research made by the intermediate Palomar Transient Factory [(i)PTF]. The focus is on stripped-envelope (SE) supernovae (SNe) discovered by (i)PTF, and it is closely tied to the research on the SE SN iPTF13bvn, that occurred in the nearby galaxy NGC 5806. READ MORE

  4. 12. Spectral Properties of Type Ia Supernovae and Implications for Cosmology

    Author : Jakob Nordin; Ariel Goobar; Mark Phillips; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; cosmology; spectroscopy; supernovae; Physics; Fysik; Cosmology; Kosmologi; Extragalactical astronomy; Extragalaktisk astronomi; fysik; Physics;

    Abstract : Type Ia supernovae can, for a short period of time, reach the same brightness as an entire galaxy. They are responsible for the creation of a large fraction of all heavy elements and can be used, as standard candles, to prove that the expansion of the universe is accelerating. Yet, we do not fully understand them. READ MORE

  5. 13. Properties of Type Ia Supernovae : From the (intermediate) Palomar Transient Factory

    Author : Seméli Papadogiannakis; Ariel Goobar; Rahman Amandius; Ulrich Feindt; Edward Baron; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Type Ia supernovae; cosmology; machine learning; fysik; Physics;

    Abstract : Type Ia Supernovae (SNe) have been used to discover the accelerated expansion of the universe but many open questions remain unanswered. These include the stellar progenitor, extinction and possible systematic trends in the supernova brightness for different host galaxy environments or cosmic time. READ MORE

  6. 14. The Circumstellar Environment of Type Ia Supernovae

    Author : Raphael Ferretti; Rahman Amanullah; Ariel Goobar; Josh Simon; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Type Ia supernovae; extinction; supernova cosmology; fysik; Physics;

    Abstract : Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) have proven to be extremely useful for measuring cosmological distances and were used for the discovery of the accelerated expansion of the universe. Although thousands of SNe Ia have been observed to date, many questions surrounding the physics of the explosions and the nature of their progenitor systems remain unanswered. READ MORE

  7. 15. Search for lensed supernovae behind the galaxy cluster Abell 1689

    Author : Tanja Petrushevska; Rahman Amanullah; Ariel Goobar; Peter Lundqvist; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; lensed supernovae; gravitational lensing; galaxy cluster Abell 1689; Astronomy; astronomi; fysik; Physics;

    Abstract : Distant supernovae probe the history of cosmic expansion and star formation, and provide important information on their progenitor models. Investigation of supernovae type Ia for  are needed to reveal any evolution in their intrinsic properties, and thus their utility as existing distance indicators. READ MORE
